I maindened my new E-Flite Splendor yesterday, and while the first flight was successful, it was difficult a bit, especially on landing. When I discovered that I was flying with -20% exponential on my JR radio, I knew the second flight would be better. It was. ;D
Anyway, the purpose of this post is to comment on the way this plane rolls.
Mike Hazelton was spotting for me when I flew the plane, and we were amazed at how well and linear this plane rolls. After a 360 degree roll, I let go of the sticks when the wings were level, then the model stopped rolling just past level and then twisted/rolled back perfectly level.
I wondered how this model was leveling itself when I let go of the aileron stick but never gave opposite aileron to compensate.
Well, last night I remembers how the AS3S receiver works in this model; it corrects the attitude of the plane to the stick inputs from any variance such as wind and other factors. I surmise that when I let go of the aileron stick, the model is still rolling from the inertia of the roll, but the AS3X corrects that to the position where I let go of the stick.
Just amazing.
Witchcraft!
Nice looking plane Michael.

I got the same plane! It flies awesome. In fact, you were the first one to maiden mine.
